Hey! I was agnostic for quite a while, and was still a solid conservative. Don’t lump being agnostic in with being atheist or satanic!

Most people’s definition of agnostic goes something like: “I’m just not sure what’s out there, don’t think anything can be proved for sure, and therefore I’ll sit out of the whole religion / God debate.”

There’s nothing in that viewpoint that restricts one from understanding right from wrong, or that the “Culture of Death” is profoundly awful.

Ahh but you just described the “crux” of the matter. If one has no opinion or belief in a higher power then one has no basis by which one establishes a personal sense of right or wrong, good or evil.

Paul clarifies the matter this way...”If there be no Resurrection(Christianity’s established linch pin upholding all morality), then let us eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die!”

No God, no need for morals and ethics, no need for civil society, no mortar to hold rational society together. Law of the jungle stuff...and in the end let’s just nuke it all!
